This was fun. It feels like a solid core to what could be a good paid game. But as it is free I highly recommend giving it a try. I think my favourite aspect of it is that the songs you have to play get more complicated as each "battle" goes on. not because the game is adding notes, but because *you* are. And the songs are short, so they will loop until either you die or the opponent does. You have you four colour/shapes to hit notes with, and once you build up enough juice you can slap down your own note, and it will stay there for you to hit (or hit you) every loop. each colour does something different, and for that one guy who said they can't figure out how to attack: *Red* is the main attack note. Some negatives that can be dismissed because free game!: there is no noise or animation to go with hitting the notes, just small text that drifts up from the key. The character and normal enemies have no animation. there isn't any visual or sound feedback when picking options with dialogue, rewards, or shops.
A fun little rhythm rougelike game! Very beginner friendly in terms of rhythmn games and is a good foundation into an untapped niche. Played on my keyboard and the charting isn't too harsh on my fingers

Wow! Where to begin? This is the most unique game I've seen! It's like if Rock Band and Slay the Spire had a baby together and created something so holy! The music for each level is retro but chill. I can vibe to the music while I slay my foes. The upgrades really do something. There's lots to customize and it's always a different play session. The instructions on placing notes was a bit confusing, but I learned it's all about timing with the beat in order to place them. 100% I highly suggest playing it.

10/10 a bandit stole my chips Also, catgirl pog
Love the roguelike rhythm game combination. Super fun songs to play and I try to play around different types of relic builds each run (freestyle bar build is the most fun)!
Is a fun twist on the normal rhythm game formula that I rather enjoy. Very fun despite the fact that there aren't many levels or enemy types. Can't wait to see where it goes in the future!
A game with great music and a beautiful art style really love it 10/10 great game
I agree with another review. solid 9.7 but easy 10 with arachnophobia mode.
